You..clearly trying to put words into my mounth. I mean, DS, an outsider can understand what I'm saying way back in our first time discussion.
There are multiple versions of Superman throughout the Multiverse, however, Pre-Crisis/Post-Crisis/Post-Flashpoint Superman is the same Superman(mainstream Superman)
The "single combined timeline" I meant is all past history is combined into one though(I.E, pre-crisis/post-crisis/post-flashpoint eras of feats are available for DC characters) , I didn't argue that all versions of character throughout the Multiverse is the same character
I think it is apparent when I posted the Snyder's interview, in which Snyder made a distinction between them
You know, the more I think on it - a moment of CIS, to me, is more akin to PIS.
CIS is there for chronically stupid characters - the Rhinos, the Scorpions, the Bizarros, that kind of thing. As the rules state, they are genuinely that dumb.
Thanos isn't. As you say, I too can't really think of a time he turned his back and got suckerpunched - and I don't even have the beer excuse. Which makes it PIS, as he isn't that dumb.
Hmmm.

There are a lot of past histories. And past histories having slightly altered events is what leads to alternate timelines/universes. But it seems you are uniquely equipped to decide what's canon or not. That isn't arbitrary at all.
But, yes, now that you've run away from the notion of a "single combined timeline" and that you openly admit there's an entire multiverse and hypertime in DC, are you trying to tell us that Superman-1 and Superman-2's histories were conglomerated? Oh, right. Ads, websites, easter eggs, and now writer interviews.
None of which overrides on-panel evidence. You can pretend Superman-1 and Superman-2's history were conglomerated but hell, even Superman-1's past continues to be retconned. Just read World's Finest where it retcons Superman's first adventures with Batman and Batman/Wonder Woman.
Like... Dark Nights: Death Metal is already three years old. And you refuse to recognize actual on-panel retcons in marquis titles that are published well after. Indeed, you'll ignore on-panel retcons in favor of random easter eggs as if they somehow unretconned events? You doing it backwards, son. Meanwhile, this silly b1tch just angry that his gambit citation of Darkseid unextraordinarily resurrecting a human girl does nothing to prove that H/P Doomsday beats Odin & Asgard.
